Record Madness: B

Record Madness is a project between Metal blog and Tune Of The Day, a project that has been and boiled under low heat for a long time but now finally became a reality.

In short, its based on a closer look at our record collection, and the rules are relatively simple.

There will be challenges between us. Everything is about to dive into the shelf and pick up the records with the letter which you have been challenged with. One tells stories, shows pictures, a little anecdotes, or anything that affects the character that is current at the moment. The posts ends with a challenge in the form of a letter from the alphabet sent to Chief Rebel on Metal blog. Then he makes the same thing with his record shelf (hey CD!) But with his twist and his angle on it before he sends back a letter. Then it all goes back and forth like a pinball machine, but in slow motion.

Everything started with "Chief Rebel" who dived into the letter "A", and wrote a mammoth post with lots of pictures of what was in his record shelf under the letter A. Then he hasdescribed whathe has under"R" and"G"

Now we have come up a bit in the process and I have harvested both the letter "L" and "Q" and today we'll see what is hidden behind the letter "B"

To my surprise, I discovered that there was a great deal of records under the letter "B".
I actually had more records than I first thought, so today will be a gigantic post with lots of records.

Alright, here we go...

In March 2013, after months of public tensions within the band, Joe
Bonamassa announced that he was no longer a member of Black Country
Communion, with the question over whether the group would continue with
another guitarist unclear. Days later, Glenn Hughes confirmed that the
band is officially over, hinting that he would continue working with
Bonham and Sherinian under a new band name.

Here is "Deliver Us From Evil" (1982), "Nightflight" (1981), "Squawk" (1972) & "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend" (1973) with Budgie.

Budgie is a Welsh hard rock/heavy metal band from Cardiff. They are described by author Gary Sharpe-Young as one of the earliest heavy metal bands and a seminal influence to many acts of that scene, with fast, heavy rock (an influence on the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and acts such as Metallica) being played as early as 1971.

Somealbums withthe classicband "TheByrds"

Here is two versions of "Super Session" that is an album conceived by Al Kooper and featuring the work of guitarists Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills, released on Columbia Records in 1968, CS 9701. Bloomfield and Stills do not play together on the album, with tracks including Bloomfield on side one, and those including Stills on side two.

Two records "Ahead Rings Out" (1969) and "Getting To This" (1970) with the British blues–rock band Blodwyn Pig, founded in 1968 by guitarist–vocalist–songwriter Mick Abrahams, after he left Jethro Tull due to a falling-out with Tull leader Ian Anderson.

The Alan Bown Set later known as The Alan Bown! or just Alan Bown, were a British band of the 1960s and 1970s whose music evolved from jazz and blues through soul and rhythm and blues and ended up as psychedelia and progressive rock.
